ST. LOUIS, April S.-The Globe Demo
crat prints the following this morn
ing: Word was received in St.
| Louis last night that James G. Blaine
is seriously i'll at Fort Gibson, Indian
Territory, and that physicians have
been telegraphed for. Nothing
definite has been learned this morn
ing, although various kilograms of in
quiry. have been sent to Fort Gibson.
A private telegram has been re-
ceived here from Fort Gibson, Indian
Territory, stating that Mr.. Blaine has
a severe cold, and is threatened with
pneumonia.
Another private telegram from
Fort Gibson, received here at II 80 p.
NJ, says Blaine's physician reports
him doing very well, that he has but
slight fever, and hat his pulse and
Temperature are favorable.
LATER. G. Keerens, a near and
personal friend Of Mr.. Baine, accom-
panied by DR.. H. HI. Mudd, a prom
inent physician of this city, left here
at l P. NJ, by special train, for Fort
Gibson. None of the circumstances
leading up to Blaine's illness are known
here. The particulars are momenta-
rily expected. The inference natur-
allv drawn from the fact that a physi-
clan has gone from here to see, and
perhaps attend to Blaine. and in the
face of the probable fact that there is
a skilled army surgeon at Fort Gibson
is, that he is, or is likely to be seriously
ill. To determine this, however,
further advices will have to be awaited
in the meantime. The private tele-
grams previously referred to, giving a
statement OF Blaine's physician, is as
follows: Blaine is doing well; only a
slight fever; pulse good, so per min

A Fearful Disaster Averfed.
New York, April 8.-Between IL
and ~ o'clock last night, while near all
of 40 families, comprising about 200
people, were asleep in the fifth story OF
a tenement at IL Essex street, a fire
broke out in a bakery shop in the
basement. The first, second, third
and special calls soon thronged the
vicinity with fire apparatus and ambu-
lances from the hospitals. The smoke
filled the tenement, but the firemen
swarmed through the house, directing
the occupants to fire escapes. All but
about 20 persons were thus able to
make their escape u%ninjured. The
20 who were injured were helped out
by the firemen and ambulance corps,
though the possibilities of a dreadful
disaster were great. The actual in
juries are not fatal in any case. The
loss is about $4,000.
LATER-The two hundred residents
Of the tenement house, II Essex
street, who were rendered homeless,
and Is of whom are in the hospital,
from burns received last night, were
the recipients of several money dona-
tions to-day. The fire broke out in
the cellar of the bakery below, and
spread through the building. Had
there not been fire escapes in front and
rear, the loss of life must have been
appalling. Many of those taken to
Bellevue Hospital last night were more
frightened than hurt. A girl, about
10 years old, is dead, and others are
fatally burned.

ST. JOINS, N. F., April S.-The
